Criteria For Evaluating The SocioEconomic And Moral-Ethical Consequences Of Socially Hazardous Behavior

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive methodological analysis of evaluating the socio-economic and moral-ethical consequences of socially hazardous (risk-taking and deviant) behavior at the intersection of deviancology, sociology, economics, and jurisprudence. The research elucidates the multi-tiered impact of risk behavior on macro- and micro-economic metrics, including direct fiscal burdens, indirect human capital degradation, labor market segmentation, and the blocking of social mobility through the "poverty and deviance trap." Furthermore, the article explores the qualitative parameters of moral-ethical decay, such as axiological anomie, institutional mistrust, intergenerational transmission of destructive behavior, and the erosion of collective responsibility. Integrating foundational theories from Durkheim, Merton, Becker, Putnam, Weber, and Frankl, the paper proposes a holistic Risk Behavior Impact Index (RBII) across four structural blocks: economic-fiscal, demographicpublic health, socio-institutional, and moral-axiological. The findings emphasize transitioning from punitive-repressive measures toward human-centric, institutional, and preventive policy frameworks.
